Travel teams (Youth, Club, and Elite) are formed at tryouts. Local programs never require a tryout.

TRYOUTS ARE COMPLETE

Missed tryouts? You can still play.

Fill out the Player Interest Form and the Ethos staff will follow up. Local programs never require a tryout.

Step one

Find your club age

Ask yourself: how old will I be on July 1, 2027? That is your club age. Every player must try out at their own age group, even if they have played up in the past. No exceptions.

Example: Suzie is 12 today, but she turns 13 on May 22, 2027. Her club age is 13, so she attends the tryout for 13-year-olds.
